It is my sad duty to report that Punktastic’s guiding light, Paul, is leaving the site to concentrate on new projects. He is leaving his full time job and the boredom of local journalism for a new position at superb rock weekly magazine Kerrang. He is in essence swapping The Starting Line for Slipknot. With this in mind, and the fact he is running a record label with myself, he has decided that he doesn’t have enough free time to work for the site. I’m sure I speak for everybody when I thank Paul for the immense contribution he has made to this site since we began the project. It’s not all bad news though, the long forgotten Nick is returning to us to help me run the site. If you would like to leave some glowing tributes to the god of punktastic in ‘discuss this item’ I’m sure Paul would appreciate it…
